Immunobiology Unit, University College London Institute of Child Health, London, United Kingdom
J Immunol 183:3023-32. 2009..Overall our data indicate that Gli3 expressed in the thymus stroma regulates negative selection and TCR signal strength via Hh-dependent and -independent mechanisms, with implications for autoimmunity...
KLF13 influences multiple stages of both B and T cell developmentSusan V Outram
Immunobiology Unit, Institute of Child Health, University College, London, United Kingdom
Cell Cycle 7:2047-55. 2008..Thus KLF13 is involved at multiple different checkpoints in development that require signalling through the TCR, pre-BCR or mature BCR...
A novel role for Hedgehog in T-cell receptor signaling: implications for development and immunityNicola J Rowbotham
Immunobiology Unit, UCL Institute of Child Health, London, UK
Cell Cycle 6:2138-42. 2007..Modulation of TCR signal strength by Hh pathway activation has importance for immunity as the presence or absence of Hh in the environment in which a T cell is activated would shape the immune response...
